@Coloma I can send my leftover half an apple to Uganda if you’d like.
And that prevents you from assisting a hungry person where you live?
@Cruiser I fail to see the connection issues such as sexual orientation, faith, and gender have to do with people/families that are struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table?? Seriously.
Good point, it exposes the suggestion that not speaking of the aforementioned subjects and talking about hunger is flawed and a bust. No one takes hunger seriously anyhow, when it is not them that are hungry. To simply say let’s talk about hunger instead of LGTB issues or faith issues but have no gumption to do even the smallest part to help correct it is just a waste of talk, might as well just stuck with the other topics.
@Symbeline If you mean would people be using that talking time instead to do charitable work, I doubt it, because people who want to donate to charity probably don’t forget to do it once some spiffy issue is brought up. In fact, you’d think some dude preaching about God all day would be inclined to feed the poor and shit, least as much as he can.
No, I don’t mean that. What I mean is simply talking about it, even if you believe it is a serious or important topic does nothing for the poor, it doesn’t do any more or less for the poor as if the other topics were talked and debated about. To try to say discussion on the poor or hungry is more important when nothing more for them will come out of the talk shows it is not really much of a game changer. You would be surprised how many times and at what personal cost, in time and money people who preach, teach, or believe in God feed hungry people and don’t talk about it at all. In fact they do so in such an unassuming and humble manner, most never even know they are doing it.
@ucme Some people take this place waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy too seriously.
Ask a question, get some answers, have a laugh, fuck off & repeat…simple stuff.
We don’t often agree but I wholly agree with you there. We should be able to ask and answer questions that suit our fancy, hopefully to get us to think. However, too many seem to have thin skin and want to sanitize the place by being so PC you can ask this, talk about that, but never bring up this or that. If they don’t want to sanitize the place, they want to paint it all the same shade of whatever so all the voices are lockstep with each other and no diversity is seen at all.
